Please fight and don't give up!!! How do you manage your sleeping? Are you taking anything? I am still getting diagnosed and staged and have hard time with sleeping.

I'll keep you in my thoughts as you go on to the next phase. Chemo is never fun, but it sure sounds easier than what you've already been through. You really should like you are a strong person (are uou tired of hearing this yet?). Do your best to keep your spirits up over the next few weeks and keep us posted as you progress.
HUGS,
Elizabeth

Sounds like you had a very rough start, hopefully things will smooth out.
Remember to talk to your onc about all your side effects. Don't take something for granted such as chemo will make me nauseous. If you're nauseous, tell them, let them help you. Best of luck.

When I went through my complete wound healing failure after my liver resection in 2010 (7 months to heal) it was my worst nightmare, I think. I had a wound vac for awhile that wound up having been a bad idea and the pain was nearly unbearable. I hope you have a home nurse who completely knows what he/she is doing with the vac. Mine didn't, and it cost me a second surgery. At a minimum, I hope they are turning the vac off an hour or so before the sponge changing so it's not so rough coming out.
I think and hope you will get a lot of support and encouragement from the Board.
I'm sending you warm best wishes for your recovery. Chemo will likely be nothing compared to what you are going through right now
